Dudmaston is a beautiful 17th century mansion house and although it is now owned by the National Trust it is still occupied by the latest generation of the Labouchere family.
The grounds were magnificent it had acres of lawn, woodland and shrubbery. It even had it's own lake.
The clock tower had just narrowly escaped demolition from a giant red wood tree which had come down in some high winds.
Inside was equally grand and housed one of this country's largest private collections of modern art, which seemed quite unusual in such an old house.
We enjoyed our visit and would recommend it, we took a picnic and sat at a picnic table shaded by some huge ancient trees in the warm afternoon air, lovely.
